My sixth year as a bootstrapped founder

Their tinypilot kvm works. It's in the category of boring infrastructure - I leave it plugged into whatever machine is currently in need of attention and `https://tinypilot/` connects to it. Little box hanging off the PoE switch, much less bother than plugging a keyboard and monitor in. Especially so when I'm away from the office.

Recommended. Saved me a lot of hassle. Thanks for the product!

I'd like to be able to power cycle the attached machine but that seems inherently messy to implement.

It's a good idea for a feature - many other out-of-band solutions have this. I think the issue comes mostly in that you would need to unplug the server to add (and remove...) some kind of relay-controlled power interrupt.

I would assume that most users of this are in a rack/datacenter/server environment and have switched PDUs they can remotely trigger power with, and it might make more sense to build in PDU management as a software feature over the network than try to reproduce the hardware functions.

Would be kind of cool to have a C14 input plug on the device and a C13 out beside it that goes to the server/device, then you can put an relayed interrupt inside it and also an ammeter clamp to measure power draw and detect drops or spikes in device power - for those systems that don't have built in IPMI already.
